Abstract
An ink recording apparatus is operable to eject ink to a medium transported in a transport path in a transport direction. An ink head includes a nozzle on a bottom surface opposed to the transport path, and is operable to eject the ink from the nozzle to the medium. A holder is adapted to hold the ink head and to cover the bottom surface, and includes a first opening corresponding to the nozzle. An absorber is adapted to cover a part of the holder which is opposed to the transport path and is adjacent to the first opening, and includes a second opening corresponding to the nozzle. The second opening is adjacent to the first opening. A mask is adapted to be arranged between the absorber and the transport path, and includes a third opening corresponding to the nozzle. At least one of an end portion of the second opening and an end portion of the third opening protrudes greater than an end portion of the first opening at least in the transport direction and an opposing direction opposed to the transport direction.
